Communication agency Gres Todorchuk launched the project “Letters of Love”. Anyone can leave a message on the site. This may be an appeal to a loved one, friends or even strangers who remained in the temporarily occupied cities and villages. The organizers of the project plan to collect at least 10,000 messages that will be delivered to their destinations by all possible means.

Now 20% of Ukraine, including Crimea and Donbass, is under Russian occupation,” says Anastasia Grishko, executive director of the “Association” HOBF. “Every day the occupation regime is becoming more and more cruel to the Ukrainians. They are not allowed to leave the regions, mobile communications and the Internet are limited and controlled. Ukrainians at HERE have actually become hostages. Living for the fifth month in a constant sense of fear and danger, they are morally tired, despair of their own future and feel helpless. “Letters of Love” should become a saving straw for our relatives and friends, to prove that we have not forgotten about them, that we are with them and will fight for them. Let’s show the Ukrainians at HERE how much we love them and how we look forward to meeting them after our victory!

Ukrainians can write “Letters of Love” both to a specific person and to the inhabitants of any settlement that is now occupied. In addition to the messages in the online format, which will be delivered through all possible means of communication, “letters of love” will also be printed and sent to HERE in a variety of ways.

Our key task is to show people that we remember them,” says Daria Lyubimova, COO of Gres Todorchuk. – That we will return, that we will embrace, that we will be together again. And to deliver these messages, we will be very creative and inventive. After all, every “letter of love” must reach the addressee. In general, “Letters of Love” is only the first project in the framework of a large campaign to support residents of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine. Ahead are both fundraising and offline events that will keep this topic in the constant focus of attention of Ukraine and the world.
